DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose here a new program at the UCSD School of Medicine (SOM) titled the Diversity in Research and Medicine (DIRM) Program. The goal of this short-term program is to introduce undergraduates who come from ethnic minorities, economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as ones with physical disabilities to future training available in M.D./ Ph.D. programs, and attract them to a career as a physician-scientist. Individuals from all of these groups are underrepresented in medicine and biomedical sciences. Our overall goal is to provide a research-intensive but focused experience with exposure to critical components of the Physician-Scientist training program. The Specific Aims of the training program are to: 1) Provide a short-term research-intensive laboratory experience in the summer that will enable future participation in academic research efforts, and promote the entrance of individuals from underrepresented racial/ethnic or disadvantaged backgrounds into M.D./Ph.D. programs. 2) Enhance the ability of the applicants to understand the clinical training and efforts of physician-scientists by participation in a clinical shadowing experience with faculty members. 3) Motivate and enable trainees to apply to and matriculate in health science programs by participation in university-wide events and didactic conferences with faculty and MSTP trainees, culminating in written and oral presentation of the summer trainees' scientific work at a campus-wide forum for undergraduate trainees. The UCSD SOM has a long track record in research and clinical excellence, as well as experience in programs geared to amplifying the diversity of the biomedical workforce. The proposed DIRM Program will be connected to but distinct from our NIH-supported MSTP, a graduate-level program that trains M.D./Ph.D. physician- scientists. To qualify for DIRM, applicants must be undergraduate students from ethnic minority groups; economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds or have a physical disability. The DIRM program is unique and significant in that it provides a research-intensive and clinically-connected program for these undergraduate trainees. Importantly, this program will be one of the few in the U.S that promotes both biomedical research and health care delivery and that focuses on future entrance into a M.D./Ph.D. program of students from backgrounds underrepresented in these programs. It will foster their future training and careers in biomedical sciences and healthcare, in general. By introducing such opportunities to these trainees who are at a formative age, we believe it will attract them towards a career as a physician-scientist with specific interest in cardiovascular diseases. We realize, of course, that it is difficult to predict this ultimate goal for students who are at an erly stage of their training, but our initial, preliminary results support this belief.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们在这里提议在加州大学贸易委员会（UCSD）医学院（SOM）的一项新计划，名为“研究与医学多样性（DIRM）计划”。这个短期计划的目的是介绍来自少数民族，经济或社会不利的背景的本科生，以及有身体残疾的少数族裔，以提供M.D./博士学位的未来培训。计划，并吸引他们从事医师科学家的职业。来自所有这些群体的个人在医学和生物医学科学领域的人数不足。我们的总体目标是提供研究密集但专注的经验，并接触医师科学家培训计划的关键组成部分。培训计划的具体目的是：1）在夏季提供短期研究密集型实验室经验，这将使未来参与学术研究工作，并促进来自代表性不足的种族/族裔或弱势背景的个人进入M.D./ph.d.d.d。程序。 2）通过与教职员工的临床阴影经历，增强申请人了解医师科学家的临床培训和努力的能力。 3）激励和使学员能够通过与教职员工和MSTP受训者一起参加大学范围的活动和教学会议申请并入学，并在夏季学员在校园范围内的科学工作中的书面和口头介绍为校园范围的论坛而言，在本科学员的校园论坛上进行了陈述和口头介绍。 UCSD SOM在研究和临床卓越方面具有悠久的记录，以及旨在扩大生物医学劳动力多样性的计划的经验。拟议的DIRM计划将与我们的NIH支持的MSTP相关，这是一个培训M.D./ph.d的研究生级课程。医师科学家。要获得Dirm的资格，申请人必须是来自少数民族群体的本科生；在经济或社会上处于弱势背景或身体残疾。 Dirm计划是独特而重要的，因为它为这些本科学员提供了一项研究密集型和临床连接的计划。重要的是，该计划将是美国为数不多的促进生物医学研究和医疗保健提供的计划之一，并着重于将来进入M.D./ph.d。来自这些计划的学生人数不足的学生计划。总体而言，它将促进他们未来的生物医学科学和医疗保健培训。通过将这种机会介绍给在成长时代的这些受训者，我们认为这将吸引他们成为对心血管疾病特别感兴趣的医师科学家的职业。当然，我们意识到，对于处于培训阶段的学生来说，很难预测这一最终目标，但是我们最初的初步结果支持了这种信念。 （摘要结尾
